Something is in the Air .....

Some woman backed into my Yaris . She is an insurance agent . This is gonna be interesting . She ruined my left rear panel . Looks like I will be getting new TRD shocks and some new Pilots and a paint job . The officer said it is her responsibility to watch where she is driving , especially in reverse . I get the feeling I'm gonna get sued . The officer said he would go to bat for me in court .

THANK YOU SIR

Sorry to hear about that. Such a pain when you get the car banged up!

Well, someone drove into the back of my Yaris the other day... and he had no drivers licence, no insurance, and no job... illegal alien. Shit!

Like my man Bill said "I feel your pain" I have to drive a Versa... an automatic Versa . I have never driven an auto before . I'm thinkin I'm gonna smack my head on the steering a few times before I figure out there is no clutch . I guess you peeps are my Yaris support group . Now I have to postpone my Magazine article ....Where the fuck is my BEER . Oh Yeah , I'm in South Carolina , no beer on Sunday . You can screw a hot chick in church on Sunday , but no beer ................


Please excuse my rant , but now I'm Yarisless and I'm going into DT's
Thanks everyone in advance

Ahhhh yes, No beer on Sundays. I remember that. Just got to go to the 3 red dots the day before and stock up. I learned that the first week I was there. I lived in Columbia/SandHill for 8 months, thought I was homesick, came back to Massachusetts and now I want to come back to SC. Such a comfortable life and pace.

Good luck with your situation.

Chuck

I'm glad you both are okay, but this has simply got to stop. That's like 7 of us that all have been hit this week, and none of us were at fault.

Make that 8. I was rear ended last week. It caused a small ding near the centre of the bumper, but it felt a lot worst then it looks.

Both cars was waiting to make a right turn, the guy behind me thought I had already cleared the intersection while looking the other way for on-coming traffic. (In Canada, is OK to make a right turn on a red light and some people don't pay attention to what's directly in front of them since they're busy making sure the way is clear). I did the same mistake several time when I was a newbie driver, but luckily, I was quick enough to stop before rear ending the guy in front of me. Anyways, the damage didn't seem bad and the guy seem like the family sort with a little daughter in the MiniVAn. So, I let him off the hook. Just another battle scar to add to myriad of other dings and scratches on my Yaris.

I've done that once myself when I was 16. I had just finished christmas shopping so I was really really tired and wanted to go home. And I thought the person had gone cuz they pulled up and kept going but nope they stopped. Thankfully, it didn't cause any damage and since they were in such good holiday spirits, they dind't report it to insurance or anything. just told me merry christmas.

Oh man! I can't believes it, right before your magazine feature too... so glad you are ok.

WTF is up with the Yarii smashing lately? I had noticed that people seem to have a hard time seeing me, but I thought it was because my car is black...

Just got back from the Dragon .....AGAIN Well , I just found out that they did an investigation , and I was cleared of any wrong doing . Imagine that Well now Coryn is in the body shop and we are haggling over what needs to be fixed . I mentioned my last clash with Nationwide . The fact that they screwed me over a shock absorber . I presented the bill for the TRD's and stated that they (TRD's) can't be bought seperately . The bodyshop said "Yes Sir" . Nationwide said thats not true . I said look all you want , but you will buy me new TRD's or there won't be a Nationwide any longer . It will be HTM YARISWIDE insurance .


On a seperate note , wait till the rental company sees what I did to their tires . Who knew that Mazda 3 could pwned a porsche cayman and a few Mustang GT's . Hey , at least I took the hubcaps off first . But then again maybe they won't notice .

You bet I will post pics later this week

People don't bother paying attention to our cars because they are small. I get cut off all the time. Hella supertones dual horn on the way. I'm ready to lay on it!

HTM - How the hell can she sue you and expect anything out of it? Get your insurance to pay for the work. If hers does, the work could be substandard.

K-K - So if I'm an illegal alien it's kinda like having a blank check to do whatever with no consequences? Great! (sarcastic)

When will body panels start being made of foam rubber?
